I love photography and have gotten many beautiful shots relying only on my cellphone camera. Is this tour intended only for people with tripods and top notch cameras?

I'm wondering about being able to shoot time lapse out there, which requires the camera to be clicking away for anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours, depending on the shot. (It also provides a good time to catch up on reading, napping, etc.) For example... A wide landscape shot, like from John Ford's point, with low, scattered cloud shadows moving over the terrain... (if it's cloudy.) If the conditions are good, and winds are high enough,10-20 seconds of this kind of footage can be grabbed within an hour. Without the clouds, though, there's little point in shooting timelapse, But a shot from the right location of buttes or mesas as they transition dramatically from sunlit to shadow within a couple of hours would be great. Hunters Mesa as the sun goes down, but instead of the sunset itself, shooting shadows lengthening over the terrain as it goes dark. And a night shot with stars and the milky way. Is this a shooting itinery you could accommodate, in whole or part, or at least advise on? I'll doing the Grand Canyon May 19-26, and am thinking of this for Sun 27th or Mon 28th. Thanks.

Hi, I am booked sunrise and sunset tours with them. Do you give a guide a tip? If you do and you can share, how much do you give to the guide? Thanks
